Legislative Correspondence.

Since my last report the following
gentlemen, residents of Shiawasse,
county, have been confirmed as no
tories public, viz: Richard Z. Chip
man. William H Sidnam, Charlt.
P. Weeden, John M. Fitch and Chas
c. De Camp.
The governor has signed the s'lit
tie sparrow BILL" but as it does moi
provide any fund for the payment Of
the bounty authorized by the act, we
guess "heads" will not in the imme.
date present command a premium
more than that, the act does not
provide any compensation for the
services of the several clerks, and it
is not to be presumed they will be
very anxious to work for nothing.
Hence the "sparrow bill" may be
properly set down as an ornamental
rather than practical addition to
the session laws Of 1887.
There is not much work being
done in either branch of the Legisla
ture just now of much public interest.
Most Of the bills being local in their
character, and while they may be,
and often are, of much interest
locally, they do not effect the welfare
of the State generally.
The appropriations bills will come
to the front in the near future. The
financial wants of the State institu
tions are very great, and the appio
priations are likely to be large in the
aggregate, and yet, despite the fact
that the wants are numerous, the
State tax is mere bagatelle. II il
were not for the local taxes, nobody
would complain, and the local taxes
are just what the people make them.
The Legislature has nothing to do
with these matters.
The pending liquor legislation,
whether the "amendment" be adopt.
ed or not, is quite likely to be i'm.
portant. There is growing impress.
sion that the liquor tax under the
present law ought to 60 into the
state treasury for the benefit of the
school fund, and surface indications
are that the municipalities where the
saloons are located will not after this
year be paid the tax fees thereon.
The exercises in honor of Gen.
John Robertson, Tor SO long a period
Of time Adjutant General of the state
in the hall of the house, on Tuesday,
were of very interesting and in
character, and certainly no
more than fitting tribute to the
memory of that gallant and honorable
citizen.
Wednesday afternoon goodly
number of the representatives and
some senators went to the AgriCul
tural College to attend the annual
cattle sale, especially, It is to be pre-
sumed, to inform themselves as to the
expediency Of making liberal appro-
priations for the development of the
agricultural interests of the State.
The bill to detach section six and
the north half of section seven in
Caledonia from Owosso Union school
district, has passed the house and is
now pending in the senate. That it
ought to pass is probably true, but in
the best judgment of some it ought to
set out of the district all the property
that is outside the city limits. not
only northeast but all around in
every direction.

Rules for the Shepherd.

Paste these in your hat, or else tie
them to your Bible. They mean money.
There is millions in them. They are
the sheep-raiser's bonanza. If you OBJ
serve these rules you can soon 90 to
congress, and need not envy a railroad
conductor or look up to a plumber.
They will be worth more to you than
the subscription price of the Gail from
now on till the dude gains sense. / am
modest about myself, but / can afford
to brag on these rules. They fit sheep,
without regard to race, color or previous
condition of servitude: Q) Keep the
sheep dry under foot with litter. Wet
feet make sheep sad; he pines away
and ceases to was. You cannot put
rubber boots on him, but you can put
litter under him. This is more neces-
sary than roofing them. A sheep
thinks more of his feet than his head,
and his head doesn't gather wool,
either. (2) Take up lamb bucks early
in summer and keep them up till De-
cember following, when they may be
turned out. They ought not to be
allowed to associate with females at too
tender an age. 1t is apt to spoil them.
(3) Count every day. You can do this
by counting their tails. (4) Begin
granting with the greatest care and use
small quantities at first. The sheep
would not do to board at a hashery. 1t
would bankrupt his internal revenue
department in two shakes of a sleeps
tail. (5) If an eve loses her lamb, milk
her daily for "a few days, and mix little
alum with her salt. You will find
more about this when you milk her.
Remember the second commandment.
CO. Let no hogs eat with the sheep; by
no means in the spring. The hogs OBJ
iect. CD Give the lambs little milk
feed in the time of weaving. They
have an aching void then which air can
never fill. (S) Never brighten sheep
if possible to avoid it. This does not
apply to the old ram with mischief in
his eye and thunder and lightning in
his horns. COZ Sow rye for weak ones
in cold weather. A little rye is good
for puny animals of other descriptions.
00) Separate all sick, weak or thin
ones in the fall, and give them special
care. 0D If sheep is hurt, wash the
wound, battle with turpentine and coat
with tar. That night give your neigh
boris dog a dose of lead. 02) Keep
number of good bells on your sheep.
1t will make them feel good. 03) Do
not let the sheep spoil wool with chaff
and burs. Q4) Cut tag-locks in early
spring. This is a matter of necessity.
Q5) For scours give pulverized alum
in wheat bran. Prevent by taking
great care in changing from dry to
green feed. Q6) Take care of the
lambs-keep them thriving. A lamb
should feel good all over in one spot as
big as sheep-skin. OO Keep one
two-year-old ram to fifty ewes. This
is for the looks of the thing. QS) Care
fully select breeding ewes; Gull out the
old and inferior stock for market
Keep at the head of the flock thor
ough-bred male; feed well, breed judi
ciously. QO Swear to the foregoing
and freeze to it as you do to your wife,

Board or Earth Floors.

There have been several objections
in other journals to board floors in
poultry-houses, it being claimed that
they become foul, and once impreg-
mated with the odor and moisture of the
droppings that constantly fall upon it,
the result will be disagreeable. We do
not agree with the parties so claiming.
If the naked boards are used, with no
absorbent material, the claim is true;
but those who use board floors should
be careful to have dirt, mari, muck,
sand or sawdust under the roosts, and
then sweep out the house with broom
every day, adding fresh material to
cover the floor after each sweeping.
cannot be thoroughly cleaned daily
that is, not by so easy method as
sweeping, for the earth will absorb the
droppings quicker than will wood If
cleaned at all it must have the top sur
face removed, and that means an
amount of labor that the majority of
persons are not willing to bestow, and
which they will defer as long as pos
sible. After awhile the whole floor
will have to be removed and an entire
lot of fresh earth added. A board floor
will be always dry, while the constant
passing in and out of the fowls, in
damp weather, will render an earth
floor more adhesive, will more rapidly
decompose the droppings and more
quickly generate gases and odors. We
believe in board floors, but clean them
daily.-Fdrm and Gdrden.

CD Cream makes better butter to
rise in cold air than to rise in cold
water, but it will rise sooner in cold
water, and the milk will keep sweet
longer. (4) The deeper milk is set,
the less airing the cream gets while
rising. (5) The depth of setting should
vary with the temperature; the lower
it is, the deeper milk may be set; the
higher, the shallower it should be.
Milk should never be set shallow in a
low temperature, nor deep in a high
one. Setting deep in pure, cold water
economies time, labor and space.
CO. While milk is standing for cream
to rise, the purity of the cream, and
consequently the fine flavor and keep
ing of the butter, will be injured if
the surface of the cream is exposed
freely to air much warmer than the
cream. CD When cream is colder than
the surrounding air it takes up moist
ure and impurities from the air. When
the air is colder than the cream IL takes
up moisture and whatever escapes from
the cream. In the former case the
cream purifes the surrounding air; in
the latter case the air helps to purify
the cream. The selection of creamer
should hinge on what is most desired
highest quality or greatest convenience
and economy in time, space and labor"

StiltOn Cheese.

The rich imported cheese known as
Stilton is made in England in narrow
locality in the county of Leicester. 1t
was first made by Mrs. Pauet for an
inn-keeper named Cooper Thornhill,
and in compliance with his directions.
The cheese is now one of the most
popular of all English makes, and has a
rich, delicate flavor, due to a peculiar
process of making and ripening. IT is
made of the whole mornings milk, to
which is added the cream of the pre-
vious nights milk. The milk is warmed
to only seventy-eight degrees, and is
curdled at that temperature with a
small quantity of rennet. The curd is
cut in large blocks, and is dipped out
into cylindrical moulds about eight
inches in diameter and ten or eleven
inches deep. The only pressure APP
piled is the weight of the curd, as the
mould is reversed daily, so that the
pressure of the cheese presses out the
whey. The curing is perfected by
means of blue and green mould which
is caused to penetrate through the
cheese by pricking the curd with long
needle first pushed into an old cheese,
by which the new cheese is inoculated
with the ferment. Two years are re-
quired to complete the curing. The
cheese sells in England at about sixty.
three cents pound and weighs from
eight to ten pounds.

Farm and Garden Notes.

NEVER give horse which is usually
fed oats full feed of corn or corn
meal in place of the oats. Better let it
go without.
A COW can be kept upon single acre
of land; but it is a good farm that
averages an animal to each two acres,
counting in the whole farm.
IT matters little which breed of fowls
is chosen, provided it is adapted TO the
place and purposes in view. Any of
our improved breeds will pay we'll
To make a profit in dairying try put

make the feed and care bestowed on
one cow produce as much as you now

Household Hints.

LEATHER chair-seats may be revived
by rubbing them with well-beaten white
of egg.
SANDPAPER will whiten ivory knife
handles that may have become yellow
with use or age.
SIMPLEST polish for oiled furniture:
Rub the furniture with wooden cloth
saturated slightly with oil.
FADED hangings may be restored by
beating the dust from them and brush
ing; then apply a strong lather of cas-
tile soap by means of hard brush;
wash the lather off with clean water
and afterward with alum water. When
dry the colors will generally be found to
be restored.
The Floral Cabinet says: Gladioli
do not degenerate-that is, they do not
change from good to bad. We have
never known bulb producing one
flower to change and produce one of
another color. The difficulty which
some amateurs complain of may arise
from the fact that all our best light
colored varieties of gladioli have not as
vigorous constitutions as many of the
dark ones and will die out, while the
dark colors increase rapidly"

Best Butter.

The best butter is that which has had
the least done for it all the way through.
The aim now of the butter-maker
should be to avoid the salvy, greasy
condition of store butter, which has had
all grain and life and flavor washed out
of it in the churn or mashed out of it
in subsequent working over Many
fail just here. The object is to get
solid grains of butter, and this is Sc
cured with cold water and salt. When
the buttermilk shows, the churn should
be stopped and a gallon of cold water
and an ounce of salt be added for each
supposed six or seven pounds of butter.
This hardens the globules and the salt,
in the form of weak brine, takes the
place of buttermilk as a coating or film
to the globules. If we agitate the mass
slightly, and then let it stand few
moments, the butter-grains will rise
above the surface of the fluid If the
buttermilk and brine are drawn out
from beneath, without disturbing the
butter above, then more weak brine
added, we free the butter from butter
milk and have not disturbed or niured
the grain. Now add the salt to this
very wet butter. Let it stand for the
salt to dissolve and work over at once.
Then pack away from the air, and we
get very nearlyperfect butter.-Rural
NelC Yorker.

Sound Advice.

An exchange well says: "Don't keep
accumuations, with the vague feeling
that sometime they may be wanted.
Most of us have quantities of half-worn
garments, piles of old magazines, books
in miscellaneous collection, and all sorts
of aGcumulations in garnet and closet
and storeroom that are of no possible
immediate use, and yet are too good to
throw away Now there is a place for
each article of this sort, be it book, half
worn garment or out-of-date periodical.
Beside the valuable service all reading
matter will do at our hospitals there are
the asylums for the destitute, where
clothing of all kinds can be utilized,
and most of us are poor indeed in OBJ
jects of human sympathy and iterest if
we do not know of individual needs
that these accumulations could meet.
Before the season opens again let us
see to it that we have new order of
housekeeping, and appropriate every
superhuous article to the place where
it can do the most good"
